TGH recruits 01 WASH Technical Design Consultant

Justifications and Objectives

While TGH Myanmar has developed many Emergency WASH activities in the past 2 years, there is the need for enhanced technical delivery for WASH Services and for strengthening local capacity onsite (remote management context, very limited communication means, etc.), in line with the WASH Cluster objectives and guidelines. This Consultancy Service will provide TGH and RCDF with high-level technical insights that include technical review based on collected field assessments, a selection of technical solutions adapted to Paletwa context, the integration of Operations and Maintenance (O&M) considerations and the respect of WASH Cluster standards and guidance.

Building upon 2 years of experience working in such a hard-to-reach area, the WASH Technical Design Consultancy will develop new technical designs to a variety of WASH activities, including recommendations to be further aligned with Governmental and WASH Cluster requirements, but within the specific context of Paletwa Township.

In addition, this consultancy will assist in technical WASH capacity building to TGH, RCDF and local authorities key WASH staff. It is therefore expected the development of some technical training documents about selected technical options and designs, associated with a technical orientation to TGH WASH Project Manager and WASH Technical Surge Support (to disseminate to Paletwa staff, partners and other stakeholders eventually).
As much as possible, O&M considerations and longer-term WASH technical and management capacity should be part of the expected consultancy outcomes.

At last, recommendations from the WASH technical Design Consultancy will bring an additional insight on potential perspectives for next projects in the context of Paletwa Township (IDP crisis and COVID-19 threats in a very isolated rural area).
